C'mon people! This link was posted last *thursday* on Memepool. And to think MeFi users were dissing Memepool just a few days ago for posting stale links....

some of us know better than to go to mempool, therefore, some of us believe this link to be 'fresh and in our faces'.

Forgive me, metaxa, I try to access every site on the web run by over-obsessive nerds but even I can't make it to all of them.

I am inclined to agree with bondcliff. Rated for its audio content alone, that is the most horrible website I have ever been too.

For whatever reason this site inspired me to find out where Scientology came from and why his followers think Hubbard was such a genius. I still can't answer that last question, but I did learn a lot. You might start here.
I can't figure out why all of these celebrities, some of whom seem reasonably bright, would fall for this pseudoreligion invented by an insane hack writer.

"... insane hack writer."
surely that's a mild oxymoron. by virtue of his insanity hubbard raises himself above the level of a hack. of course he is also one of the world's most successful con artists, but so are almost all great business leaders. would that every one sang their own songs on devotional websites.

For perspective on L. Ron Hubbard, read some Harlan Ellison.

If you've got the time, read this great Wired article on the CoS's encroachment on the Net.
